> Expert repair and restoration for luxury footwear

A good pair of shoes should last a decade with maintenance. Our cobblers handle everything from a quick heel tip to full resoling on Italian dress shoes, and they've worked on enough luxury footwear to know which brands want what kind of treatment.

## What shoe repairs do you do?

Resoling (leather, rubber, Vibram), heel replacement, heel tips, reheeling women's pumps, stretching tight shoes, tightening loose ones, re-gluing separated soles, patching holes, replacing zippers on boots, replacing laces, eyelet repair, conditioning, and polishing. Full restoration on heirloom or luxury footwear is available.

## Luxury and designer brands

We've worked on enough Ferragamo, Gucci, Prada, Louboutin, Allen Edmonds, Church's, Edward Green, John Lobb, and Crockett & Jones to know each brand's construction well. Louboutin red-bottom touch-ups are a regular request. If you have a specific brand concern, ask — we'll tell you what we can and can't do before we start work.

## Women's pumps and boots

Heel tips, heel replacement, toe guards, lift repair, and boot zipper replacement are the most common repairs. We can also dye shoes to match — blue pumps to black, nude to cream, scuffed white to fresh white.

## How long do shoe repairs take?

Simple repairs (heel tips, polish) are usually done in 2-3 days. Full resoles typically take 7-10 days. Shoes can be included in regular pickup and delivery — bag them separately so they don't touch clean clothes.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can you resole dress shoes?

Yes — leather, rubber, or Vibram resoling on welted dress shoes is routine. Good shoes can be resoled multiple times over their life.

### Do you touch up Louboutin red soles?

Yes, we handle red-sole touch-ups regularly.

### Can you stretch tight shoes?

Usually. Leather can be stretched modestly in length or width. Extreme sizing issues — not really. Bring them in and we'll tell you honestly.

### Can you change a shoe's color?

In many cases, yes. Darker-than-original dyeing works well; lighter is much harder. Ask before assuming.
